Re: Firewall or Under Floor Mounted Master Cylinder?

Many reasons above that may make better sense for your project. This master cylinder in my 59 has not ever seen rain or a water drenching. I am moving all to the top in another thread, I do not produce SEMA cars just dependable drivers.

I have a hydroboost in my 67 4wd and a on top vacuum booster in the 42 (s10 frame). I like both. Hydroboost can be quite more expensive. Definitely helps overcome taller tires. They use hydroboost in diesels because of no available vacuum. They put hydroboost in cars (2004 Yukon) sometimes because of space.

Regardless of which way you go, the front discs (plus the correct master cylinder and proportioning valve) on the front of the s10 will contribute most.

If money is no object buy a truck already complete. May be less expensive. 8-)
